Sleep EEG changes after zolpidem in mice
Abstract
Zolpidem is a widely used hypnotic that binds preferentially to alpha1GABAA receptors. We determined the role of these receptors in the effects of zolpidem on sleep in mutant mice carrying zolpidem-insensitive alpha1GABAA receptors and wild-type controls. Sleep was promoted by zolpidem in both genotypes. In wild-type mice non-REM sleep EEG power was markedly reduced in a broad frequency band >5 or 9 Hz after 5 and 10 mg/kg zolpidem, respectively. In mutants a power reduction appeared at the highest dose only, and was restricted to some low frequencies and the 9-10 Hz bin. We conclude that the effects of zolpidem on the sleep EEG in mice are distinct from the changes typically induced by benzodiazepines, and are primarily mediated by alpha1GABAA receptors.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
